The hunter was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

Jinshui looked around to make sure no one saw it.

"You can't tell anyone about this."

It turned out to be just this matter. It was easy to explain. I had always kept my mouth shut. Also, because I did a lot of hunting, I was full of murderous aura, so most people didn't dare to talk to me.

"I promise you."

Seeing this, Nier quickly assured Jinshui and the others, "We will definitely not tell anyone, don't worry." She looked up at the third brother and shook his clothes, "right, Dad."

The third brother quickly agreed.

"Yeah, I won't tell anyone."

Jinshui and Xiuli finally felt relieved.

The hunter gave the wolf some money in person, picked up the dead wolf and left.

After taking the three taels of silver, their eyes widened. It was so wonderful to transfer so much money from left hand to right hand, feeling the temperature and weight of the silver.

Jinshui took out a tael of silver and looked at Xiuli. Xiuli nodded and handed the silver to the third brother. "Uncle San, take this little money. If it weren't for you, this thing would definitely not be done, and the wolf might have been left there. It's not much money, but it's a token of my and Xiuli's love."

The third brother was not willing to take the money from the younger generation. Besides, he didn't do anything except bring the hunter here. How could he take so much money from them?

He was about to stuff it back with his backhand, but Xiuli was quick to hold it down.

"Yes, Third Uncle, just keep it. It's fine as long as you don't think it's too little. It's a token of our love. If you hadn't brought the hunters here, we wouldn't have gotten any money even though we killed the wolf with all our might."

Seeing that they really wanted to give, Nier stopped Dad and did not let him refuse, "Okay, we will accept the money."

Although the third son was a little confused, he still listened to his daughter and did not give the money back to them.

Jinshui and Xiuli were very happy. "We have to hurry and look for wild vegetables. Otherwise, if we come back late, we will be scolded by grandma."

It’s already this late and there’s no time to wash the dirty clothes. It’s more important to get down to business.

When they got to a deserted place, each of them took out one or two taels of silver, and was so happy that they were horrified. They pinched the silver with their hands, and imitated others by making marks with their teeth.

The voice was low, "It's true, sister, this is one tael of silver."

Xiuli couldn't help laughing when she saw her sister acting like a thief.

"Haha, there's no way he could give a fake one in front of so many people."

Jinshui thought Xiuli was so happy because she made money, and never expected that it was because of him.

"Where do you think we should hide the money?"

Xiu Li couldn't think of anything for a moment, and frowned, "Anyway, I can't leave it at home."

Jinshui agreed with her opinion. There were so many pairs of eyes in the house, and when they saw the money, they would be as scared as a weasel seeing a chicken. It was normal for it to be lost.

But I am still worried about leaving it outside. I might have to check it several times a day. If someone follows me, they can easily find it, which is not good.

Suddenly I thought of a good place where my things would never be discovered and I wouldn't have to worry about them being taken away.

"It's better than..."

Jinshui was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say it out loud, but Xiuli took over the conversation.

"Leave it with Nier."

The two of them agreed that leaving it with Ni'er was the best choice.

Jin Shui took Xiu Li's hand and said, "I was afraid you would disagree, but I didn't expect you to think the same way."

Xiu Li patted her sister's hand and said, "Then leave it with her. Ni'er is so rich, she doesn't need us."

Jinshui's eyes suddenly turned cold, "That's right, even if I give this money to her, I will never give it to Grandma and the others, they don't deserve it."

The third brother saw his two nieces walking away and couldn't help asking, "Why did you ask me to accept the money just now?"

Nier looked at her father seriously and told him everything she was thinking.

"Dad, if you don't accept them, they may not dare to bother us in the future. They are different from Fugui. They are not the kind of people who only think about themselves and not others."

"And they work very hard and never cheat. Let them save some money. It would be best if they don't have to be controlled by grandma in the future and live a decent life."

"Besides, they give us money, and they may need us for other things in the future, so it's better to ask for it."

The third brother just thought that the two children's lives were hard enough and he shouldn't take their things. After listening to Ni'er's analysis, it made sense.

Jinshui and Xiuli are honest, hardworking and able to endure hardships. They are also girls who are not liked by the old lady. It is really miserable for them to be born in that family.

If there is any way I can help in the future, I will help more. When I see them, I think of how Ni'er was treated before, and I really can't bear to see them suffer like that.

The third brother put the one tael of silver in his hand into Ni'er's hand and said, "Take this money. If they have any difficulties in the future, you can help them as much as you can."

Nier nodded and accepted the money her father gave her.

"I think so too."

Jinshui and Xiuli hurriedly dug some wild vegetables, but now everyone was staying in the mountains and had nothing to eat or drink, so there were a lot more people digging wild vegetables, and many of the vegetables in their hands were snatched from under the noses of others.

Jinshui stared at these wild vegetables in a daze and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why don't we go back? We've come so far and haven't seen any other wild vegetables."

Xiuli rubbed her sore calves.

"Then be prepared to be scolded."

Jinshui touched the one or two taels of silver still in his pocket, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Then go ahead and curse me. I made some money today and I'm in a good mood."

The two were walking back and they met someone crying on the way.

"what happened?"

"Let's go take a look."

The place is already full of people, surrounded in three layers.

"Dad, why did you leave so suddenly? I haven't made you your favorite noodle soup yet."

The sad sound reached everyone's ears.

The two stood in the crowd, listening to other people's gossip.

"This old man is old, how can he withstand such torture?"

"That's right. Young people can't stand living in the mountains at night, let alone him, who is not in good health to begin with."

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Let's bury it quickly. Don't leave the body here. The mountain is full of people. It will stink in a few days and then everyone will get sick."

The man who was lying on the ground crying suddenly stood up and yelled at the crowd.

"What? This isn't your family's elder. Can the rules passed down by our ancestors be changed at will?"

"I'm going to stop the funeral and see who can stop me."

Another voice came from the crowd.

"Listen to my advice. It's better to be buried as soon as possible. It's not good for the living to stay with the dead."

The man widened his eyes fiercely and looked around.

"Whoever said that, stand up. You don't dare to admit it, right, you coward."
